Fan Project To Remake Diablo II Using StarCraft II Is Now Playable
Our first story comes to us from Ethan Gach of Kotaku, This one is for StarCraft II fans and Diablo II fans alike! A Starcraft II mod, 4 years in the making, has players going again into the world of Diablo II. The Mod is called The Curse of Tristram: Destruction’s End, and it recreates the entirety of Diablo II’s story but in the Starcraft II Engine.
If you guys remember what Diablo II looked like, which was a hot mess, spoiler alert, the Starcraft II Mod makes everything look *MUAH* oh so pretty. Although, yeah you’re not going to be getting 4K graphics here, if you do a side by side comparison, the difference is pretty clear!
“The mod offers all seven of Diablo II’s character classes for you to start as and two new difficulty modes. “Heroic,” the first, adds stronger enemies and equipment, but also something called “world curses”—global events in the game that randomly deactivate certain abilities like health regeneration. The third one, “Mythic,” turns all bosses into super-powered versions and also adds “world events,” a mechanic Godbout plans to share more information about in the future.”
The mod was made by Etienne Godbout, searching for his name though I couldn’t find anything in the way of Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, but his Indiegogo page for The Curse Of Tristram is in the link below, although the funding page has closed. He raised just shy of $2000 of his, get this $6,666 goal. I love this dude already. It’s also worth noting, Starcraft II is now free to play. So is the mod, so do Godbout a favor and play the mod that took him 4 years. Keep in mind there’s still bugs he’s trying to fix, and it’s one guy who can fix it in his spare time. I wish I had more of a following brother, this is a good one.
Rumor: StarFox Grand Prix
Next up, do y’all like RUMORS?! I love me some rumors!! It looks like Retro Studios is making a StarFox racing game! StarFox: Grand Prix is going to be the name of the game, it’s a rumor from reddit user DasVergeben, and will have adventure mode akin to the game Diddy Kong Racing, but have the racing elements of F-Zero. Y’all remember Diddy Kong Racing? I lost my mind when I unlocked the space zone, keep in mind this was before the internet knew EVERYTHING about video games. I had to get my info from Tips and Tricks magazine. I found out how to unlock TT. It was glorious.
Taco’s Cheat Mix
And Now it’s time for Taco’s Cheat Mix! we have a glitch from Reddit User Paradox_Guardian, for Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild! This glitch is amazingly game breaking, and involves recharging your rune to do some pretty amazing feats, such as making cut down trees or doors that you’ve already stasis-launched in the air launch EVEN FURTHER!
Here’s how it works: by viewing a cutscene or picking up an item you’ve never seen before, it will effectively reset your rune counter. So somebody could, let’s say, drop a raddish on a door, burn it, put the door in stasis, launch the door, pick up the burned raddish, which is effectively a new item, which resets the counter, put the door in stasis again, go into the menu, watch a cutscene, put the door in stasis AGAIN, and effectively fly across the map.
I absolutely love the speedrunning community, they come up with the greatest stuff. By the way, this article was found on Kotaku, and is the second article by Heather Alexandra that i’ve seen, I feel like the articles get the attention and not the people writing them, so I thought I would give her a shoutout. Link to her twitter in the description, show some love, internet!
Super Mario Odyssey: Infinite Jump Ropes
Our Third Story, you know what? I found another Cheat on the internet, let’s just do this. In Super Mario Odyssey, they found another way to get to 9,999 jumps in the jump rope challenge, get out of town.
So this video footage is from DGR, which I’ve followed this guy for awhile, genuinely a great dude! DGR stands for Dan Good Repairs, which, ya know, fun fact, Now he does.. Speedruns I guess.. ANYWAY! On with the glitch! I know! I’m using his video, so you need to know about the guy, behind the video!
Alright the video starts out with him making the letters MA and R off to the side, set up just as he has it, you then need to run the scooter up to the ledge of the M, then throw cappy on top of the M afterwards. Run the M into the R for awhile, then capture the R, if done correctly you should be able to roam anywhere in New Donk City. Here’s where the fun part starts, use the R to head to the jump rope, and become regular Mario. You should now be racking up the jump count. Consider this your final chance to get a 9,999 score in Super Mario Odyssey, guys, if you wanted to do it before with the old trick, but couldn’t you have another shot.
The glitch was found by Twitter User Syrkl @kehzou, link in the description, if you want to know ANY super mario odyssey glitches, go to that guys profile, you’ll find about 5 just by staring into is beautiful beautiful… Is that a tunic?
Super Mario Odyssey: Data Mined Costumes
Finally, This is a nintendo filled episode! We have Data Mined costumes! And not the broodal costumes you guys might have heard about, these look like they’ll be releasing maybe once a month depending on the season, we have a Racing Helmet and Racing Outfit, A Conductor Wig and a Conductor Outfit, a Zombie Headwear and Zombie Outfit, a Santa Hat and Santa Outfit, finally we have an 8-bit Mario Cap
Something tells me, and this is just speculation on my part, the zombie outfit will release sometime in halloween, and the santa outfit will release sometime near christmas. The 8-bit Mario might appear at 2 times, Mario’s birthday, which, for those of you that don’t know, his birthday is on July 9, 1981. So we might be seeing this update drop on July 9th, we also might be seeing, depending on how things go, the costume coming out on new years. But I could see the 8 bit costume coming out in July, after that is August, so either the racing costume or conductor outfit, after that is September, which means one of the others is being released. After that is October, great for the zombie outfit, then November whatever nothing happens, then December, the Santa outfit. Again, that’s just speculation.
